Enforcer's Handbook

"The anglerfish is one of the most dangerous prisoners in Area D. I'm afraid you won't be so lucky next time you encounter it."

When the "Emperor" walked out of the player tunnel, his back was against the wall, and the erratic shadow spoke.

Shadow did not hide his malice and said jokingly, "'The Strongest Cyborg', how long will your good luck last?"

"This is the 19th game."

The "Emperor" ignored the other party's provocation and said calmly, "There is still one more fight, and it's time for your boss to end it himself."

He has long been accustomed to the cynicism of the prisoners. After all, many people, including the shadow in front of him, were sent in by him. Naturally, he would not expect a group of criminals to have a contractual spirit. But if he solved the problem in the arena, Judge, then it’s time for the real ruler who has been hiding behind the scenes to show up.

But this road is destined to be full of ups and downs.

According to the intelligence collected by RT6, the current judge who controls the arena was not appointed out of thin air. He also killed all his opponents in battles and emerged as the strongest one. Even RT6 couldn't help but speak solemnly when he mentioned the opponent. Said that the judge and the opponents he has encountered so far are not from the same dimension at all.

The shadow in front of him is the "agent" assigned to him by the other party. The "agent"'s job is to contact, package and promote, and finalize the players and competition schedule. However, his "agent" started from the first day of work. I wish he would die in the hands of others.

In response to his response just now, Shadow laughed so exaggeratedly that his figure became distorted and blurred.

"Don't think too highly of yourself. To the boss, you are just a pastime. As long as he is willing, he can get rid of you in an instant. But if you can make the boss happy, maybe he will keep his promise. Let you meet the master."

Master is what the prisoners call their ruler. In their minds, the criminal who created Area D is no different from a god.

At this point, Shadow changed the topic, "But you are destined to not be able to wait until that time. Your next opponent has been decided, and it will still be the anglerfish."

"Is my defeated general still qualified to challenge again?"

"Anglefish's record is 22 wins and 6 losses. No, it should be 22 wins and 7 losses now, but do you know what happened to the first six players who defeated him? Five of them were in the second game He suffered a mental breakdown and has been unable to recover since then. Now he is working as a coolie somewhere in Area C. As for the remaining one..."

The shadow deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, "It has been swallowed by it, and I'm afraid it has been digested long ago. For that monster, the first game is just a test, even if there is only one cell left in the body, It can come back, and what makes it even more powerful is its amazing ability to adapt. The next time you meet, your abilities will be ineffective against it!"

What else can an esper who has lost his abilities do?

"That half-assed mess of yours should make a good lunch. The next game is the day after tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your life until then."

The "Emperor" couldn't see the shadow's expression clearly, but the other person's maniacal laughter echoed in the corridor for a long time.

But the smile didn't last long after all. The shadow seemed to have heard some instructions. After the smile stopped suddenly, he was stunned at first, and then his expression became as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Shadow glanced deeply at the "Emperor", as if trying to discern whether the news he just received was related to the other party.

But from the perspective of time and space, the "Emperor" has absolutely no chance.

The next moment, the shadow left a black trail and disappeared into the wall.

At the same time, not far from the arena, several shadows gathered together as if facing an enemy.

The anglerfish is a player that the judge admires very much, or "pet" is more appropriate to describe its identity. It is a vicious dog raised by the boss. The boss has always turned a blind eye to the vicious dog's behavior of hurting and even eating people. The attitude of turning a blind eye, after all, in Area D, even if you are swallowed by other prisoners, you can only blame your own lack of ability.

However, at this moment, they discovered the anglerfish in an alley not far from the arena.

This is its most common feeding place. It has lured newcomers here and swallowed them. This has happened many times, but this time, the anglerfish itself became the prey.

Drooping ink-colored tentacles can be seen everywhere, and its body is surprisingly complete. For this monster that can complete regeneration even if there is only one cell left, it died here.

The only wound came from the petite figure lying prone in the alley.

Her eyes lost their luster, and the penetrating wound on her chest was clearly visible.

"It's over, it's over!"

This thought came to all the shadows' minds.

With the boss's temper, if he knew that his "pet dog" died here, the entire city would be turned upside down.

The only thing they can do now is to find the murderer of Angler Fish before the boss gets angry, and send him to the boss to be punished. Perhaps only by killing the murderer can the boss's anger be calmed down.

On the other side, a young man walked into a restaurant that didn't look too lively, with a little tail following behind him.

"Black pepper steak burger set, fish and chips, oh yes, and give her a strawberry milk."

The young man pointed at the petite girl behind him.

The boss couldn't help but look at the two of them. Such a combination is rare in a place with strong folk customs. The most vicious criminals on the street hate such a weak-looking person. One of their interests is Appreciate the process of destroying fragile toys.

"I want the cod steak!"

The petite girl stared at the menu for a while and then said, "Don't even think about sending me off with a bottle of strawberry milk!"

"Then another cod steak."

As he said that, the young man handed the dark substance wrapped in ink to the boss. The moment he saw the object, the boss's face suddenly changed, his voice trembled, and it took him a while to say a complete sentence, "Anglefish! You are not an anglerfish!"

In the prison area, everyone's "wallet" exists independently. In addition to storing the prisoners' property, it also represents a person's identity.

The identity emblem symbolizing the anglerfish appears in the hands of a strange young man, which can only mean one thing...

"Don't be nervous, Angler Fish and I are best friends, close friends. He knew that I was so poor recently that I couldn't even afford to eat, so he lent me money."

Facing the young man's explanation, the boss did not refute, he just nodded, and after deducting the corresponding fee, carefully handed the ink-colored substance back to the young man's hand.

"Drink. After drinking this cup, you will forget what happened just now."

After taking a seat, Song Lan pushed the tray containing strawberry milk towards RT6.

He thought carefully about this journey and found that his encounter with RT6 was both unexpected and reasonable.

With RT6's arrogant character, it is entirely possible that after saying "I will never care about you again" on the surface, someone secretly sneaks in to watch the "Emperor" game, and sees the "Emperor"'s opponent in the game. After using despicable means, he planned to retaliate against the anglerfish in private.

So Song Lan had to treat him to this meal.

Because when RT6 arrived, he had not had time to deal with the scene. It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene at that time as saying that everyone and everything was stolen.

It took him a lot of time to find this ink-colored substance, which gave RT6 an opportunity.

But there was nothing he could do about it. He was penniless in the prison area and had to find a good friend to help him in order to maintain his life.

"Why, did you quarrel with the 'Emperor' again?"

"Of course not. It's because he has too many enemies here that we have to split up."

RT6 happily drank strawberry milk. Although she would never admit it, she liked this sweet and sour feeling the most. She had been so exhausted these days in District D that she had no time to stop and sit in the restaurant to enjoy the meal. Last meal.

Although artificial intelligence does not want to eat, RT6 believes that only by fully enjoying food like humans can we have a deeper understanding of this group.

Yes, this is all for the cause of science.

"It was his idea to go to the arena to play. Anyway, no matter where he hides, he will be discovered in the end. It is better to face them directly. The judge who controls the arena promised him that as long as he can win 20 games, he will be introduced. Give D area the real ruler."

"You actually believe this?"

Song Lan was shocked. In comparison, he felt that the fact that he and Angler Fish were good friends was much more credible.

"Of course I don't believe it, but if no one can defeat him, the judge will eventually be unable to bear it. If the judge is also dealt with by then, the real mastermind will have no choice but to show up. As of today, everything has been revealed. As expected, they sent out the anglerfish in our plan."

When mentioning the anglerfish, RT6 couldn't help but sneer, "The second game with the anglerfish is the most important. When it encounters a strong opponent, it will lose one first and then adapt to the opponent's tactics and abilities. , but they are not the only ones who can use off-court means."

Before the first and second games, the anglerfish is at its weakest.

Although it was impossible to completely kill the anglerfish, it was easy to use some means to destroy it and restore it. However, RT6 never expected that when he rushed over, it had already become a crime scene.

"I also want to ask, where did you come from?"

Wherever there is a case, Song Lan is there, and she feels that the "famous detective's physique" proposed by the other party is nonsense. It is obviously the murderer's physique.

"We were also entrusted by others to investigate the real mastermind."

Song Lan coughed lightly and tried to look as serious as possible.

Of course, he couldn't let RT6 know that this matter actually ranked behind lunch and hotel booking in his mind. It was never his philosophy to work without sleep and food. He had to settle himself first before he could have enough energy to deal with other matters. question.

Whenever he encountered a difficult problem, he would leave it to luck.

This is the reasoning method of the lucky detective.

"The mastermind behind this... no wonder you want to take action against the anglerfish."

"Don't say it so harshly. We are all buddies. I just asked it to borrow some money, and it's not like I won't pay it back."

Before RT6 arrived, Angler Fish threatened to send him and the "Emperor" down for a reunion. Faced with such a heart-warming gesture, Song Lan of course politely said "please first".

"Stop pretending, coming here to eat is part of your plan."

RT6 showed his eyes that saw everything.

"I didn't expect you to have noticed it."

Song Lan did have a reason for choosing this store.

This is a fast food restaurant that specializes in hamburgers, fish and chips. In his opinion, it would be difficult to make such an almost industrially produced food taste unpalatable.

He didn't trust the craftsmanship of a group of criminals. This kind of shop that was not easy to make mistakes was the conclusion reached by an experienced detective after reasoning and analysis.

"Oh? They should be on the way already."

"Well, I just passed on the news."

Song Lan was of course referring to Lu Xiang. He sent Lu Xiang the news about a burger fast food restaurant here, and she said that she and the "Emperor" had already met.

"Then there's no way."

RT6 drank the strawberry milk in the cup and said, "I didn't expect that your brain is quite bright. You know that the anglerfish is the arena owner's favorite pet. He will not give up when his pet is killed. Now I'm afraid you were angry and you used his ID card to make purchases here..."

Although this behavior was a bit too aggro-inducing, it was much more efficient than their original plan.

Before he finished speaking, three shadows broke into the door.

As soon as the boss met their eyes, he pointed in the direction of Song Lan and RT6. It was obvious that the boss did not believe that Song Lan and Angler Fish were friends, and immediately asked Jiaodou after ordering. Reported on site.

Here, Song Lan had to express her appreciation for the boss's caution. He used practical actions to show everyone the correct approach when dangerous elements appear in your store.

In this situation, getting hot-blooded and stepping forward to expose the other person's lies is undoubtedly a dangerous behavior.

First stabilize the opponent's emotions and let them relax their vigilance, and then quietly seek help from the law enforcement department.

"It's you, come with us immediately."

The shadow floated in front of the two of them, and they were ready to fight at any time.

No matter who the opponent is, killing the anglerfish is enough to attract their attention, and more support is on the way. For such dangerous elements with unknown origins, the human wave tactic is the safest method.

"Now that you guys have discovered it, there's nothing you can do about it."

RT6 took a step forward, "Take us to see your boss... The champion of the Arena King Competition, the strong man who won the championship with a perfect victory record without any suspense, I have long wanted to meet him."

"You all heard it."

Song Lan crossed her arms across her chest and nodded slightly, like a wise man who had seen through everything, "She killed the person and it had nothing to do with me. You can just take her away."

Small theater its three hundred and twenty-three:

A certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a Tuesday, afternoon

This is the part that the Council is most worried about.

A salted fish is not enough evidence, but if even a good employee like Lu Xiang is corrupted, then the nature of the matter will completely change.

After much thought, they felt that only love could turn Lu Xiang into this state.

Relevant research books have long been concluded.

Love makes people blind, and some people even say that one pregnancy makes one stupid for three years. Now Lu Xiang has taken almost everything he can.

"We are not denying your efforts. We know that you have sacrificed a lot to change Song Lan, and you even went so far as to bear a bad reputation and were privately called a 'devil' by people in other departments."

The chairman of the review paused briefly, "But that person is far more terrifying than you, or all of us, know. Think about it carefully, Lu Xiang, although many things seem to end with your victory, but From a long-term perspective, Song Lan can always achieve his wishes."

This is a tepid virus.

You are suffering from it without you knowing it, and many times even the victims who are suffering from the virus are not aware of this fact.

"Be careful with Song Lan and don't let him lead you."

"Please watch your words, Speaker."

"……Um?"

This sudden change of attitude caught him off guard.

"No one is being led on a leash!"

Lu Xiang's tone was firm, but his eyes were evasive.

It's not the rope, it's the nose.

The words of correction were suppressed by the chairman of the jury, because at this moment, he couldn't help but have a terrible thought.

question,

Is it really just Song Lan?
